Good thing is she's Eastern European so we'll probably make profit from gifts.

I had an expensive wedding and it was a complete waste of money.

That only counts if you plan to sell them

OF course it's totally your money so I'm not judging, but not something I'd want to do.

Nobody has 40-50k lying around for a wedding. Either people save up for it, pay it off as you go, or parents pay. We haven't gotten any loan for this, we're just paying it throughout the engagement

I can see the appeal of this. Sounds just like what you see with every wedding on TV that convinces you this is the norm. I hope TC and his bride have a blast. Just don't be surprised when you have a little regret over it in a year or so when you're looking to afford something expensive.

When my wife and I got married I think we spent about $5k on the wedding. Had about 50 of our family members. Barely got any wedding gifts/cash for whatever reason. My wife still tells me the wedding was a waste of money. She just wanted to go down to the courthouse and use that $5k on something more useful.

So you're expecting each guest give you at least $357 on average. Keep in mind that the average salary in Bosnia is $5,222.39 . So each Bosnian guest is giving you 6.8% of their yearly income?

Damn dude. What kind of service are you running?

I got married in May. Whole thing total cost $14000. Most of that was food and open bar. Our rings cost us $60 each and it was a costumed, post-apocolyptic themed wedding, so thrift store clothes and all that, baby!

How you make some skrill back though.

Here's a picture of my grooms people.

My family is that way with gifts too. We spent 30k on our wedding, but got 15k from gifts from my family. If I had married a man from my culture, the gifts would have probably paid for the wedding.

To be fair, I'd expect grandparents/parents/adult family members to give significantly more than the average guest. Which might make up a big chunk, especially if either family is wealthy, and by extrapolation it seems possible.

Although, you're definitely right about the average guest if your numbers are accurate. Can't expect that much from them.

Regardless I would never spend close to this much and luckily have a fiance who would prefer a tiny private ceremony + reception. :D

Foolish. Memories of a special day dont justify pissing away 50K for a single days entertainment and such.

You arent getting anywhere near the cost back in gifts and the effort in setting it up is way too much.

Weddings need to die. I also dislike the idea of guests needing to gift stuff to cover the cost of the wedding. Just dont spend your entire years income on a single day.
